Some of the Jordanian evidence against terror suspect Abu Qatada is “extremely
thin”, a senior immigration judge said yesterday.

Mr Justice Mitting made his comment as Qatada, 51, once referred to as Osama
bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe, began his latest attempt to overturn
Government efforts to deport him.

Lawyers for the radical preacher say that Jordan’s assurances to Theresa May,
the Home Secretary,that evidence obtained through torture will not be used
against him are not strong enough for him to be sent back.
